Leaving the hotel in Telluride.  

First night on the trip at Last Dollar Hut.  Wilson Peak in the background. Off to a great start!

Panorama from Last Dollar Hut the first evening.  Mind blowing

Bike cleaning after getting caught out in rain that turned the road to clay.  Drive trains were a mess.  Community spirit and creativity got em all back in working order for day 2.  JR and Tim at the helm.

Keith and Woody 

Wilson Peak.  Look familiar?  It's on the Coors can.

A bit of respite 

Graham Ranch Hut

Buck after the best shower ever at the Graham Ranch Hut.

JR, Doug, Woody and Buck took the Bench Trail alternate on Day 4 - amazing black earth, greasy, overgrown, primitive single track.  

Buck's rig after racing to Graham Ranch Hut along with Doug, Woody and JR who got caught out in a torrential downpour for an hour and half.  Super Fun!  Nothing like a bit of adversity to bond with your buddies.  

Ute Creek alternate on Day 5- sweet single track for these boys

Doug, Tim and Buck overlooking big air on approach to Gateway

The grounds around the Gateway Hut are classic 

Woody loves the camera

The "Mighty Swede"

Wilderness bocce care of Greg "the Adenator" Aden.  So much fun - Thank You  Greg for truly showing up for this ride and these men

The La Sal Hut.  One of my favs. 

We enjoyed this irrigation ditch also.  It was running with ice cold, gin clear La Sal mountain run off.  It was refreshing and spirit lifting after a long day of climbing almost 5000' vertical out of Gateway to La Sal Hut

The Adenator hits the dirt.  JR fixed him up right.  

The crew having just arrived in Moab

Woohoo! Moab at last.  Tim and his bomber rig.  Tim is amazingly strong! 

The crew at the celebration dinner at the Sunset Grill in Moab.  A well earned feast.  

Your table awaits sirs.  Doug and Tim looking and feeling relaxed after 220 miles and 22k feet of climbing over 7 days with heavy bikes.
